Where Chaos Reigns
Mossflower Wood has been plunged into chaos, war and destruction replacing the peace and prosperity that had reigned in Mossflower for many seasons. A Warlord sets out, lusting after violence and riches. In the stretches of the far North, a rat rules with an iron claw, seeking what has been sought out by his kin for centuries, and crushing all who stand in his way. On the gloomy island of Castle Marl, a new Marlfox has come to power, seeking to stretch out his kingdom even farther than his predecessors have ever dreamed, using his powers and wit to a maximum. On the shores of Sampetra, a new regime is under way, the Corsairs and Sea rats, finished with their abandonment on the island, resorting to seizing every vessel nearby, on land or sea, and soon controlling a fine fleet like their ancestors, rebuilding the splendor and glory that was once the Capital of Piracy. But that’s not the only islands having a go at notoriousness and villainy once again…Both Terramort and Irgash, lands once deeply hated are now back in action, continuing what their forerunners had started.

Not only is evil thriving on land and sea, but the skies also darken with new, and hungry predators: Crows, ravens and magpies, thirsting for blood, return to their cruel ways, wishing to put pay to those landscum. And yet to be discovered is the evil that thrives behind a veil of mystery and darkness, supposedly residing beneath Mossflower's Northern Mountains...

Fearing for both their lives and for those residing in their abbey, the creatures of Redwall are forced to change their ways of peace and join forces with the fighting hares of Salamandastron, transforming novices into skilled warriors worthy of Martin's name to face the foe once again.

Captain Madrigal of Sampetra
name: Madrigal

Species: Ferret

Gender: Male

Rank: Commander-in-chief of all Wavevermin forces in Sampetra

Appearance: He's taller then most ferrets, and knows his way around close-quarter combat, his enemies jewelry he wears to prove it. His clothing is nothing but a large red cloak, and a belt full of daggers, stilettos,dirks and a cutlass.

Personality: A lover of violence and bloodshed, but also good at making others see things his way.

Weapons: A whole stash of daggers, dirks and stilettos decorate his belt, everyone of them shined and cleaned `till he could see his grin in their handles. He also carries a scimitar, but hardly ever uses it.

History: He was raised, knowing what the great island he lived used to be. He took up captaincy after his father died, and soon was well known throughout the island. But he still felt what most corsairs felt when looking across the ocean's tides, a longing for freedom in open waters. So, after convincing some fellow sea rats and other vermin, they tore down the ancient fortress once occupated by Ublaz and his monitors, using the new supplies to build themselves a small fleet, and soon, many Wavevermin joined, and they had a great Navy of Corsairs and Sea Brigands, thristing for blood. His dream of restoring Sampetra to it's old glory has succeeded, and now he will stop at nothing to continue his long overseas crusade for piracy.

Zakrav, Terror of the Seas
name: Zakrav

Species: Pine Marten

Rank: Captain of "The Omen of Neptune"

Gender: Male

Origin: Tropics

Appearance: Zakrav is a tall pine marten who wears an eyepatch over his missing left eye. He is often accompanied by his closest friend, a small serpent named Xeris, who is often coiled around his paw. He wears an open captain's jacket and wears worn pants along with a leather belt.

Personality: Zakrav is a calm, greedy creature who slays as many creatures as possible who are present during his raids who are not members of his crew. He loves to collect tokens of his raids and keep particular items as trophies as reminders (such as the ash-colored ring lined with jet stones he wears). He shows little remorse for the murders he commits.

Weapons: Twin katanas

History: As a young creature, he found a baby serpent and raised it. It never grew to be its natural size, but a close bond between the two was formed. Zakrav and Xeris snuck onto a ship once and were unintentionally taken away on the crew's voyage. The crew discovered Zakrav, who kept his snake friend a secret to the crew, and made him a member of the crew. The pine marten would slip eggs to Xeris when he worked in the kitchen. Zakrav rose from the lowliest pirate aboard to become the captain after personally killing him.
